A Palace for God to Live.

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.” -  C.S. Lewis

We may have plans and ideal images of our lives, but ultimately God's plan will always be the best for our lives. If we were a living house, we must work everyday to better our foundation so that God can prepare and build a palace in place of a cottage. The usual cracks and leaks must be fixed too, but sometimes God has bigger plans for us that may even mean knocking down something we've built before. My goals to better build my foundation according to God's Will starts with these:

• Forgive Myself, take note of the things I have gain, and forgive myself on the things I lost.
• Trust Him, He has and always will be there guiding me.
• Learn to see God's love for me.

Disney Days

Man, I have been so busy! It's great! so much to do!
First off I made these great friends, the group of 6 meet up at our first bus stop after check in and we've been together ever since! We are....THE CORE!

First off there's

Bethany: She's from Las Vegas Nevada, goes to school at BYU-I and works Quick food and beverage at Typhoon Lagoon! We are both HUGE Star War fans, and can't wait for star wars weekends to start!!

Next there is Steeeeeve. He's from California and graduated at BYU-H. He works as a Life Guard at A Resort. 

Then Cameron, He's from ...Oklahoma (not really but it's an inside joke, haha)

 he goes to BYU Provo, and his roll is custodial at Epcot.

Josh Hawkins is a cool kid! He's from Washington and speaks Cambodian! He goes to school at BYU Provo and his roll is custodial at Animal Kingdom!! (DAK BUDDIES!) Oh and he's a baker!!

Then it comes down to the non member, Drew Dicksen. He's from Chicago and goes to school at Robert Morris University. He plays volleyball as a 6 6' setter. We get along pretty good, and he loves to act and perform. Oh and if you ever have ANY question about a Disney Park, just ask Drew, he's better then Wikipedia when it comes to Disney knowledge! His roll is Quick food at The Wide World of Sports.

Then there's me. 

The Oregonian who has always had a true Disney heart, I am so blessed to be living my dream of working as a Disney cast member and am reminded of it every night as I leave the turnstiles. I work attractions at Disney's Animal Kingdom (so far my favorite park!!!) I love animals! and I love Disney, so it was a perfect fit for me! Disney is all about dreams, wishes, and magic, and I am just a girl who has gotten to experience what it feels like to be working for the Mouse. :)

Have a magical day!

Zumba!!

So I think I caught the Zumba fever! I practice all the time and even look up dances to songs that I think would be fun Zumba songs! haha

I go to Zumba every monday and thursday night to my favorite instructor Janelle! She is so fun and I love the energy she brings to every class. Sadly I recently found out that she is moving to Provo next semester!!! She insisted that I should become a Zumba instructor so she could pass the torch to me so to speak. I never had it cross my mind, but I now, I really want to. I can Zumba to the songs I like, do the dance moves I create, and have a blast doing it! All my roommates back me up, so now I just gotta save enough money so I can take the training session class to become an official Zumba instructor!!

I'm already working on my first routine. It goes to this song....I'll upload the video once the choreography is solid. :)
